Temp raising for ich only works in Fresh water.... not saltwater.
... even though some believe it's snake oil, Kick-Ich is about the only thing that has helped (not a cure all) for my Reef tanks.
I just lost $300 in fish in my FOWLR from not QT'ing fish. Guess what I'm doing now?! Spending more $$ on another tank JUST for QT'ing my fish (I know better, and always have known better... just too lazy to build a nice QT. Now I'm paying for it!)
... on top of that, I'll have to leave my FOWLR empty of fish for 8weeks to kill off the ich. Sucks.
